Lamborghini US to offer zero per cent finance
October 15, 2009 by Matt Brogan
Zero per cent finance. It sounds more like the type of advertising associated with electrical goods or floor tiles – not elite Supercars.
But in a bid to tackle a slump in sales caused by our downtrodden global economy, Lamborghini has announced a new finance program that will make life a little easier for prospective US buyers of 2009 and 2010 Murcielago LP640 Coupe and Roadster models.
Dubbed the Lamborghini Retail Finance Plan, the new program offers up to 60-months of zero per cent financing for well-qualified buyers wanting to get behind the wheel of one of Sant’ Agata’s finest.
“The Lamborghini Retail Finance Plan allows enthusiasts to finance one of most exclusive cars on the road at a more competitive rate than ever before,” said Pietro Frigerio, Chief Operating Officer of Automobili Lamborghini America, LLC.
“We are pleased to continue our relationship with Volkswagen Credit as well partner with Woodside Credit, an established financing organisation in collector and specialty cars, in order to provide several financing options to our clients.”
A 10 per cent down payment is also required up front with the new program able to offer interest rates as low as 5.99 per cent for up to 12-years. The zero per cent finance offer applies for up to 60-months.

The cost of borrowing money can not be completely eliminated. Of course you will find upon investigation the finance company will be charging Lamborghini a fee that I have no doubt will come from the sale of the car. Try getting the finance offer and a discounted price. You will be told you can have one or the other but not both.
Lexus have done this too so it is not a new idea.
Another finance offer that has been offered is 50 – 50. Pay 50% of the cars full retail price up front and then finance the difference at 0% with the first payment to be made after two years.
Anyone who can afford to spend this much money on a car would be a little more Savvy I think and would know how best to “invest” in a product with minimal cost to them.
The woodduck, this is a Lamborghini not a sh0t box hyundai, there is no discount.
Good scheme Lambo to offer zero percent finance hehehe Anyway, if you’re not that rich you just can’t buy this very expensive car. But still, good marketing…
Its redundant in the end, might be applicable to 1% of the Lamborghine/exotic car demographic.
Basically, it comes down to this.
If you are going to “finance” to buy a Lamborghini for self/individual use, then there is a problem. You can’t afford it…
There is a rare occasion that Exotic cars are used as “investment” tools, such as marketing etc. At that occasion, then its understandable. An example, a rental company that leases out exotic cars for short term. They obviously “buy” their cars under “investment” and are financed one way or the other.
0% finance is just another way of saying if you pay cash for this car we’ll give you a very BIG discount. There’s no such thing as a free lunch. If you get a 0% interest loan on any purchase the price tag has been inflated to take into account of the cost of the loan. Don’t believe me? Offer to pay up front for any items offered “Interest free” at your local Harvey Norman’s, if you can’t negotiate at least a 15% discount then you’re not even trying!
just came back from the US and in most or all of the car commercials have advertised a O% APR for 60 months and some esp. the GMCs have 60 day satisfaction guarantee or money back, best of all they\’re very cheap!! wish we could have these kind of offers here
